The Final Battle - Chapter 1

Albus

It's 5:20. Slightly before dawn but I need to pack. I write a letter and keep it under my bed. I look at Lily and surprisingly James too. I'll miss the. Though they'll always be annoying, I'll miss them a bit. And if I don't return back, here's a note. 

Dear Family, 

I am a part of the prophecy. This prophecy is the last one to exist and it will break the curse put on our wizarding world. It's pretty overwhelming, I know. I still can't believe I'm the chosen one along with Rose, Scorpius, and Delphi. So, yes, this letter is a short one because I don't really like to write long essays just like Rose does. But if I die, don't cry over me, please. Can you just be proud for once, please? That is whether I die or I stay alive (hopefully). So yes, that's all I have to say. See you all. 

Maybe. 

I love you all. I will always. Always. 

Albus Severus Potter 

I tuck it in under my bed. And grab my bag with my necessities. And go to mum's room and mum seems happy talking to dad about something. I just want to see my mother happy. That's it, I love her so much. 

"Hey, You ready?" Rose whispered in my ear. "Yeah." I replied solemnly."Let's finished this once and for all." We walked and pass Ron and Hermione's room. Rose looks at them, heartbroken. But we need to be strong. We're doing this for them and their protection. I step back and look at Rose. Thoughts hide behind her eyes. I can see it. 

Rose 

I see mum cradled into dad's arms. Dad's arms are warm and protective. I still remember when I was 6, I had a bad nightmare, and dad and mum slept with me. Dad's arms were warm and mum's arms and hands were comfortable, soothing, and safe. Is this a bad idea that we're gonna do? I realize Albus looking at me and nodding at me to stay strong. 

If I felt like leaving my parents for a while, imagine how did Scorpius feel about his mother's death. I imagine mum dying and I sob and my eyes tell that I'm heartbroken. Albus grabs my shoulders and mouths 'Let's go' and I look at my parents one last time and follow where Albus goes. 

We go to Delphi's room where she has her backpack and a plain expression on her face. Nobody is ready and how can anybody be. It's flirting with death himself. She grabs Albus's hand and he squeezes it. "Guys," I say and we go to Scorpius's room. Scorpius is right there in his jeans and green plain t-shirt. His hair is messy as we didn't even get time to do some unnecessary things to make us feel silly. 

"We need to leave," Scorpius says and he holds my hand knowing that I'm scared. He's scared, Al's scared, Delphi's scared, everybody's scared. But sometimes, to do the right thing, you have to take some high risks. And that's what we're doing.  

"Okay, where do we apparate?" Albus asks. 

"The Leaky Cauldron. There must be loads of drunk people, especially during dawn. So fewer chances of getting recognized." Scorpius says. I nod and we all hold hands and apparate to the leaky cauldron. We stand behind the building, next to all of the trash bins. Nobody can see us and yes, it smells disgusting. 

"Disgusting. Ew!" Albus says pinching his nose. 

"What? Did you want a 5-five star hotel with some lavender fragrance with it?" Delphi snaps at Albus. 

"What do we do now?" Scorpius asks me and I say "We all will split into different times and places. But we will meet at a point. So, let's go. I have created a spell to go back into time. It's Hecatrium Lovemtum. Use it wisely. Think of your location and go deep inside your mind, find it and the spell will take you there. And yes, make sure to stay alive." I say and Scorpius holds my hand and I squeeze it. 

"I think we should leave now," I say and Albus holds Delphi and kisses her and she kisses him back. Normally I back off, but now, if life or death situation. Scorpius takes me into his arms and whispers to me. 

"Rosie."

"Scorp."

"Please. Please, stay alive." 

"I'll try.

"Not, 'you'll try'. You have to." He sobs quietly."I can't lose you too, just like mum, I can't lose you." And I cry into his t-shirt and his warm arms hug and comfort me. I feel safe, but not for long. 

"Stay with me."

"Until the end." We kiss passionately. We need each other because we are one. 

"Always," I say strongly. 

"Always." He replies the same way and we chant the spell and fall into our endless darkness.
